Abstract

Two Gram-stain-positive, non-endospore-forming actinobacteria (Ca8and Ca14) were isolated from a bioreactor with extensive phosphorus removal. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strains Ca8 and Ca14 were shown to belong to the genus and were most closely related to DSM 44140 (98.0 % sequence similarity) and DSM 44015 (97.2 %). In comparison with the sequences of the type strains of all other species of the genus tested, similarities were below 97 %. The quinone systems of the strains were determined to consist predominantly of MK-9H. The polar lipid profile for both organisms consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phospatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. Whole-organism hydrolysates contained -diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid of the peptidoglycan; mycolic acids were detected as well. These chemotaxonomic traits and the major fatty acids, which were C -9, C and C and tuberculostearic acid strongly supported the grouping of strains Ca8 and Ca14 into the genus . The two strains showed a DNA–DNA similarity of 96 %. DNA–DNA hybridizations of strain Ca8 with DSM 44140 and DSM 44015 resulted in values of 26.3 and 25.0 %, respectively. These results and those of the physiological and biochemical tests allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strains Ca8 and Ca14 from the most closely related species of the genus . It is concluded that strains Ca8 and Ca14 represent a novel species, for which the name Gordonia sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Ca8 ( = DSM 45630 = CCUG 61533 = CCM 7957 = LMG 26648).
